I'm always suspicious of adverts with no mobile number, especially from a 17yr old!

From the pic the reg number I think is R353PKS or R353PXS but no data can be found on these numbers so think carefully.

Apart from the fact that it has a P1 interior in the pictures....??

I.e. Recessed single-din Radiator/Fan *****....
Airbag in passenger dash
Speedo as centre dial instead of Rev Counter

I could be wrong but the interior doesn't seem right for a Type R....???

Scammers use legit pics from other sellers now.

It doesn't take long to suss it out. You'll soon get an email reply saying that they are out of the country but can you transfer the funds to...

I looked at a Signature Edition Type R with 34k on the clock.
It was not in the best condition, so went away, and then bought the STi V5 in My Garage for far more

This one looks a bit strange with UK clocks etc as mentioned

Yup, it could be a wrx type R and not an sti but the clocks etc would put me off. Ask if anyone knows the car at Lancashire and District Subaru Owners Club as it could have been a members car or known by one of them

I think the Reg is R953PKS - that does show up as a Subaru (Sonic Blue), it has no model details which means it's an Import.

Well if it is genuine someone could get a good deal.....
